In a recent conversation with RJ Siddharth Kannan, actor/TV presenter Maniesh Paul recalled the time when he was scolded by superstar Akshay Kumar during a Award show. The actor is making his Bollywood comeback with Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani starrer family 'Jugjugg Jeeyo' which has released today in theatres.

Coming back to the incident, Maniesh narrated, “Ek baar Akshay sir ke saath masti masti hui thi. Wo masti thodi si jyada chali gayi thi. I remember this was at an award night in 2010, I had asked him to say a dialogue. Unhone mujhe jhaad maar di thi."

Recalling how he afraid he was during the incident, Maniesh stated, "I thought we were still joking around, I was afraid this would become a problem. Then I went down in the audience. Maine unke saath masti vasti kari, then it became ‘the moment’ of the show. Akshay sir also came back and he hugged me, and told me you are good. Then I was relieved that it was all nice and happy.”

Sharing how everything turned out well in the end, Maniesh said, "2 minute ke liye to mere tote ud gaye the, mere maathe pe thanda pasina aa gaya tha. I thought khatam bhaiya, bag pack karo, chalo wapas, Akshay Sir ne band baja di hai. But baad mein pata chala ki Akshay Sir bhi masti kar rahe the.”
